i didnt get my first pair of jordans till i was 19 had my own place and had my priorities in order..all black 4's from PYS..
i grew up dirt poor on welfare with a single mom living in sec 8 housing..and i just always wanted to do better..i was tired of not being able to do things normal kids do..
but that right there should also motivate people to get the eff up and do something about it, i dont get how some of these dudes just chill on their moms couch all day watching martin..
where i grew up alot of my friends are locked up or are selling drugs are part of a gang or smuggling mexicans or weapons...
i was part of a gang from 8-12 yrs old..luckily we moved to GA and my steppops got us away from the hood..my older brother stayed and alot of the friends he brought around are dead..
i mean even when i was broke and on drugs i still hustled...i HAD to..or else i was going to be withdrawing feeling like crap all day..

Because at the end of the day, this has been happening since Air Jordan's become the phenomenon that they have been for the better half of two decades. I don't expect that to end anytime soon. Is it ridiculous? Damn right. But it is what it is.
